A Love Like This

Chapter IV | Adrian

As the elevator dinged with each passing floor I anxiously adjusted my tie. Images of what transpired between Vixen and I flooded my mind like a movie reel. It might sound cliche as fuck but I didn't expect us having sex to happen. It honestly just happened. Granted Vixen is a beautiful woman but she's a taken woman. I might have fuckboy tendencies, it was never in my nature to steal another nigga chick.

Adjusting the marine blue silk tie one last time, I exited the lift once the double doors opened. I had it set in my mind to speak to Vixen about last night. I couldn't let the day go by without telling her what was up. In all honesty I didn't even know what the fuck I expect to happen. I, personally wouldn't mind having an office hook up. But then again, I was never the type to combine business and pleasure. How ironic.

Issuing out a few good mornings and hellos to my coworkers as I neared Vixen's office. Seeing her door was closed I figured she was in a meeting. I was just about to turn around when I heard someone say my name.

"Hey Adrian, what's up?" Melanie asked with a smile on her face as she stood up from her desk.

Melanie stood in front of her desk that was adjacent to Vixen's office. As she relaxed against her desk, I ran my hand over my head, suddenly feeling nervous.

"Wassup Mel ? Is Vix in her office?" I asked rubbing my hands together

Melanie's hazel eyes slanted as she studied me after calling Vixen by her nickname. A sly smirk appeared on her lips as if the gears in her head were turning.

"No she stepped out for a few minutes. You can stay if you want, she should be back any minute now" Melanie said gesturing me to go inside of Vixen's office

"Nah it's good. Just let her know I came by" I said mentally sighing in relief

I still haven't processed my thoughts or found the right words to say to her. Her not being here added more time to figure out what I needed and wanted to say. Saying my goodbyes to Melanie I began to venture to my room when out the corner of my eye I noticed Vixen and some guy exiting the elevator. I attempted to discreetly go into my office which was a few feet away but Vixen and the male made their way over to me. A small smile etched along her full, pouty lips as our eyes met.

"Hey Adrian, what's going on?" She inquired while her eyes broke their attention from mine

"Nothing much, I just left your office looking for you. I wanted to talk to you about the Johnson VS Stephens case" I answered coming up with a lie on the spot

Vixen gave me a confused look momentarily before something inside of her clicked. Being circumspect with her body language Vixen's eye said it all. She knew the reason why I came to her office.

"Alright I'll meet you in your office in ten minutes" She said "Oh Adrian this is my boyfriend Kaiden" Vixen said as she introduced us

Unsure as to why I felt a ping of jealously I reluctantly extended my hand for a handshake. As I gave Kaiden's hand a firm shake I mumbled a nice to meet you before excusing myself. Walking away to my office, I could hear Vixen say her goodbyes to Kaiden. Tucking away in my office I closed the door behind me.

"Fuck" I muttered to myself as I began loosening my tie. I knew today was going to be a long fucking day. And to make matters worse, Vixen and I would be meeting one of clients together within the next couple of hours. Unbuttoning the jacket to my Armani suit I removed it, hanging it on the coat rack in the corner of my office.

Standing in front of the large window I stared out at the skyline of Chicago, taking in the beauty of the city as my mind aimlessly drifted. But it was short lived, hearing light knocking I peered over my shoulder.

"Come in" I instructed as I watched the door gradually open as Vixen came into view.

Licking over my lips my eyes scanned over her body. She wore a black Versace dress that hugged her body in all the right places. The dress stopped a little above her knee, giving off a sexy yet professional vibe. Her skin seemed to be glowing, which brought out her chestnut brown eyes more than usual. I was so wrapped up in checking her out that I barely made out anything she had just said to me.

"Shit Vixen, my bad. Uh what did you say ?" I asked chuckling nervously

"I said you didn't want to talk about the case did you?" She asked getting straight to the point

"No I wanted to talk about what happened last night. I guess I just wanted to know where your head is at with all of it" I said stepping away from the window and taking my seat at my desk. Leaning back into the leather office chair I watched her sit down in front of me.

Her slender fingers toyed with the hem of her dress as she held her head down. The fuck was I expecting, she just had her whole nigga up in this bitch and here's my goofy ass asking her about some shit she probably regret even happened.

"My mind has been all over the place if I'm being honest with you" she said finally lifting her head up so that she could look at me "I felt a mix of things. Guilt, confusion, excitement. I've never cheated on anyone before and although I know it's wrong I liked the way you made my body feel"

Almost choking on my saliva I set up in my chair as my eyebrows knitted together. I figured it would be best to let her finish her thoughts before I jumped the gun and embarrass myself.

"Kaiden and I haven't been seeing eye to eye for the past few months. There's no excitement, no love. I feel like I have to set up business meetings just to spend time with him. To sum it all up Adrian, if you're okay with it maybe we can have a bit of an arrangement" she said as her fingers combed through her long black tresses.

Taking a moment I allowed myself to process everything she just revealed to me. And as much as I carried on about her having someone, I had a girlfriend myself. Well as least until I got of work that was. I was planning on breaking up with Zoe later tonight.

"If that's truly what you want Vixen then it can happen. The ball is in your court" I said licking over my lips "of course everything would be kept between us. No one would know" I assured her

"I'll like that. If you're free tonight maybe we can meet up" She said standing to her feet.

Reaching over to my desk she took the stack of post it notes along with a pen. Writing down what seemed to be an address she slid the sticky note to me.

"That's my address, you already have my number. Let me know when you're own your way" she instructed with a smile

Nodding my head I removed the sticky note from the stack and tucked it into the pocket of my shirt. Vixen stepped away from my desk and began making her way to the door. As she peeked over her shoulder at me, she gave me one of the most seductive looks a woman could possibly give. I could fill myself stiffen in my slacks.  A chuckle left her lips as she exited my office, as the door closed softly behind her.

Sitting behind my desk in awe all I could do was laugh to myself at what just happened. I was surprised to hear that she wanted to continue what happened. Especially since her and her guy had been together for a while. I guess when things are forbidden that taste of having it just that one time could be addictive.
